Post 48 hours, in case of non-payment, the inventory will be released and the tenant will have to book again with a new token payment for the reservation. In case the tenant has paid the security deposit and decides to cancel / delay move-in, the monthly rental terms as agreed will be applicable as per policy with no exceptions for delayed or no move-ins.

The tenant will be required to pay advance rent for 11 months before move-in. The advance payment will be settled towards monthly rent for your stay at the hostel for the duration of 11 months. However, the invoice generated towards exclusions such as your electricity bill share, repair, maintenance, etc. needs to be cleared on a monthly basis before the 5th of the month.

All delayed payments shall attract a late payment fee:

• After the 10th of the month: Rs.100/- per day for the no. of days delayed.

To make it affordable, on paying upfront advance rent for 11 months we take only ONE month of rent as a security deposit before moving in. In case of split in advance payment is requested, then THREE months rent as a security deposit to be paid before move-in.

The token amount paid while booking the bed is adjusted in the total payable deposit amount.

It is mandatory for every tenant to pay a deposit amount in advance before moving in. As per our policy, house keys will be handed over to tenants only after receiving the deposit amount.

• Your electricity bill at Hostel stays includes your share of the electricity bill for electricity consumed in the apartment/room and the common areas of the hostel such as the common chill out area, lift, laundry areas, etc. The bill of the common area will also be equally split between the no. of tenants residing in the hostel.
• GetSetHome pays electricity bills on behalf of tenants as value-add services to avoid delayed payment by tenants resulting in disconnection of services and to avoid conflicts of opinion and collection of individual share amongst co-tenants.
• Electricity bill is generated by the Electricity board and that GetSetHome is nowhere responsible for unit consumption or calculation of bill amount generated. GetSetHome uses online payment methods to pay the electricity bills and in case of delayed receipt by the Electricity Board, GetSetHome will not be held responsible.
• Electric fuse out at the property is due to either high consumption of electricity or due to use of faulty appliances / adapter / chargers. Incase if electric fuse out, tenants are expected to arrange for local electricians and fix the issue at their own cost.
• Electricity bill is auto split as per GetSetHome tenancy policy basis no. of days of stay in a month of a tenant based on their tenure mapping in our records. No exceptions will be considered for tenants being away from property due to their travel schedules.
• In case a tenant decides to install cooler/air conditioner/any appliance which will be powered by electricity, an average of last two months' bill will be considered to decide upon base amount which will be split amongst all tenants staying in the property and the additional amount will be split in equal amongst tenants sharing the room. In case co-tenants sharing the room have concerns over electricity bill contribution, this needs to be discussed internally for agreeable resolution.
• In case the property already has air condition fittings installed by the homeowner, GetSetHome does not permit the usage of the air-condition by any individual unless confirmed with a written permission. If such an instance is brought to notice, Rs.1200 will be billed as monthly rental for use of Air Condition / Cooler. In either case, any damage / maintenance issues related to air condition (gas refilling, coiling replacement, gas leakage, compressor repair,etc.) will be charged to the tenants on the actual cost of repair / services.
• In case of any concerns related to the electricity bill amount, tenants will have to directly raise complaints with the Electricity Board. GetSetHome provides additional services of paying electricity bills on behalf of tenants on a timely basis to ensure there is not downtime in the services and to make bill distribution convenient for tenants. However, this creates no liability on GetSetHome as the electricity services are managed and owned by third parties.
• In case of no electricity bill generated / considerably lesser than the average electricity bill generated for any property for a particular month, then standard charges of Rs.300 per person as an electricity bill share will be added to the monthly rent invoice.
• Incase you own an Electric Vehicle(EV) and have a requirement for charging your EV, then the tenant will have to send an email to [email protected] with the vehicle RC book copy applying for permissions.
• We will further reach out to the owner and society office for respective permission. Please note that we are not obliged to offer permission for this requirement. Only if homeowner and society office allows permission will we honor the request.
• If we have received the necessary approvals for the installation of a new power connection for EV charging, the tenant owing EV will have to pay one month\'s rent equivalent as an additional security deposit over and above the 2 months\' rent as a deposit paid.
• On receipt of the additional deposit, the tenant owing the vehicle will incur the entire cost involved for installation for PowerPoint and society charges if applicable.
• Due to the fact that the electricity bill is divided equally amongst the tenants residing for the respective time periods, to make it fair for non-EV vehicle users and EV vehicle users, we will consider an average of electricity bills for the last 6 months and from the month EV charging is being used. The differential amount exceeding the average of 6 months will be added completely on to the tenant owning the EV. For clarity: If the average bill amount of the last 6 months for a property was Rs.3000 split between 6 tenants i.e. Rs.500 per head and post additional EV charging the monthly bill is Rs.4000, the differential amount of Rs. 1000 will be added along with average split to EV owner and total bill payment will be Rs.1500.
